Hello lovelies,
Loose powders are a very important part of any beauty regime. For me, they are my best friend and I never forget to keep them in my makeup vanity. Where ever you go, they come handy in absorbing excess sebum and giving a fresh, even out skin complexion. I have already used the Colorbar Flawless Air Brush Finish Loose Powder. Though it really worked great on my skin, it was not budget-friendly. Maybelline Fit Me range has always worked wonders in my makeup regime. So, when I discovered about thee newly launched Maybelline New York Fit Me Loose finishing powder, I knew I had to try it. Read on to know more about this product.

My Experience with Maybelline New York Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder:
Maybelline New York Fit me Loose Finishing Powder comes packed in a square shaped jar and is covered by black lid. The black lid has a screw up mechanism and it closes properly in place. The top and bottom compartment are separated by an air-tight plastic lid. There are tiny pores over the bottom compartment sealed with a sticker that will prevent spillage of the powder. The bottom compartment tightly seals the powder present at the bottom and it is tough to open it. There is no puff provided with the packaging which I think is a big con.All the other details related to the product information and ingredient details is mentioned on the body of the cardboard cover. Overall, the packaging is simple and nothing fancy.
There is some problem when you travel with this type of packaging. After opening the product and removing the plastic sticker, the perforated holes get opened and can create a mess when you are travelling around. Other than that, it works fine.
Let’s talk about the shade options now. This powder has been launched in 4 shades. Though not many shades options are available, I felt the shade ‘Light’ would be a close match to my skin tone. There are also options for medium and dusky skin tones but they may not go perfectly with the skin tone. I feel they should have launched in translucent powder form because that could have been safely used by all skin tones. There are many Indian brands that have translucent shade in their loose powder range. This is a possible lacuna with the shade range.
Coming to the texture and finish of the powder, this is a powder with extremely smooth and soft texture. It is extremely easy to blend it and it works smoothly on the skin. It melts like butter on the skin and blurs out minor imperfections. I use loose powders on a day to day basis and they work really well as an everyday face powder. From keeping the face oil-free to using them to set makeup, loose powders are something I cannot live without.
This loose powder is a mineral base loose finishing powder that also gives a tint of colour as per your skin tone. It is feather light on skin and I do not feel the presence of wearing something on my skin. It brightens up my face instantly and gives a nice polished look after I am done with my makeup. It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles but it does not hide skin pigmentation. The formula is non-drying and it never gets patchy.
It does not give a cakey look. It gives decent coverage and makes your makeup last longer. When you are in hurry, just applying this loose powder helps to mattify the skin for a smooth finish. You can skip using the powder puff and use a brush instead. I use my Real Techniques powder brush for application sometimes.
I use this powder on a regular basis before stepping outside. Sometimes I use it on the top of my foundation or BB cream. I have also used it with a tinted moisturiser as well as on bare face. You can also use it alongside a concealer or with your favourite eye shadow as a setting powder. It just works fine. I use it on my T-zone and on my forehead as it gets prone to excessive sweating during summer.
The staying power is decent. This powder works more like a setting powder. It is not very good at controlling excess sebum. If you really oily and acne-prone skin, this may not keep oil at bay for long. On my face, it keeps the oil at bay for about 4-5 hours after which you need reapplication. After about 5 hours, my T-zone started looking oily and my face looked shiny. All this time, I have been outdoors in the hot and humid climate. A touch up can extend the duration of the matte look for a few more hours.It never creases or settles into fine lines.
I really loved to try this product from the Fit Me range. Though it doesn’t control sweat for long and I had to do frequent touch-ups, it helped to set my makeup and owning a healthy, glowing complexion. Only the longevity could have been better. I highly recommend this one for those looking for a decent yet affordable loose powder.
